From SayUncle I discover this little gem from the Brady Campaign. You see, a pastor in Kentucky, Ken Pagano, gave up 30 years in the pulpit so he could focus on issues of the Second Amendment and church-security. So what does Paul Helmke say about that?
As for Mr. Pagano, Mr. Helmke said, “Maybe he should be more concerned about the Fifth Commandment than the Second Amendment.”…
That Commandment is that you shall not murder, often mis-translated as kill. So Mr. Helmke, what are you saying about us?
People have “this idea” that Christians have to turn the other cheek? Where in Heaven’s name did they get that?
Oh, right… from Jesus Christ:
You have heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.’ But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If someone strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also. And if someone wants to sue you and take your tunic, let him have your cloak as well. If someone forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles. Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you.
Nobody ever said emulating Christ would be easy, least of all the man himself….
Casting stones, Paul?
Maybe you should do a small bit of research and learn about how Christianity actually views such matters.
The title of this post? It comes from the Catechism of the Catholic Church:
Legitimate defense can be not only a right but a grave duty for one who is responsible for the lives of others. The defense of the common good requires that an unjust aggressor be rendered unable to cause harm. For this reason, those who legitimately hold authority also have the right to use arms to repel aggressors against the civil community entrusted to their responsibility.

Do they really think this kind of thing helps their cause? If so, they are dumber than I thought.
Apparenly they do.
Desperation makes people do strange things.
I cannot say as though I am particularly fond of the Catholic Church, but it is relatively safe to say they got this particular point correct.
Allowing injustice to be freely perpetuated on us or our families is inherently wrong, especially when we have the ability to prevent them.
